Cravats

Cravats are not a problem, as long as you keep your course and your cool you can deal with at your leisure. Try to get them out by pulling strong and hard on your stabilizer line.

if that doesn’t work you move on to a asymmetric collapse on the cravatted side. Keep on working with it, as long as you have a safe course you´ll fine.

If it doesn’t work you have to, tale slide or stall it out, the only other alternative you have is to land with it in or throw your reserve. To fly with a cravat, always let the cravatted side steer you.
